With the advent of new technologies, fast changing in a dynamic environment in computing, software maintenance and its upbringing can drift down in a stagnant condition. This could practically put some software functions of an organization into some state of insufficiency, antiquity, if not outright obsolescence.

Establishing some orders in research, development, backup mechanisms and to acknowledge as well the collateral "software cost", "hardware outlay" and even "manpower retention"  --- these can all get to be expensive and at some point troublesome for a company to sustain and manage.

There is no doubt though that having your own team to do the dirty job is a good practice of "self-reliance" and a reasonable measure intended for company-protected "confidentiality issues". 

ASP by BOSS ( Application Service Provisioning )

Notwithstanding, there is just the burden of cost and the ever never-ending "merry go round" of dwindling IT personnel --- the expert types, that is.


Depending on some real-life experiences of a company, having an in-house development team can either be a stable offering or a real-messed-up-solutions of  "current & new" and "past & forgone" techies. 

While perfecting a system is a long journey at times, conditions are almost always dynamic side by side the streams of a business climate. 

The reason for ASP is no different for "in-house-teams", but there are just some scopes that outsourcing can do better.

​

  • ASPs are obligated to deal and function on a marginal cost and therefore focused on real "service delivery" since they are paid on an established agreement at specified target completion ranges on software content and date schedules.

  • ASPs contributes experiences on a wider range of business spectrum thereby producing better and enhanced solutions to distinct problems. 

  • Maintaining "confidentiality clause" for each engagement is more pronounced since having a contractual obligation with ASPs always tackles and implements "confidentiality issue" as a solemn pact. 

  • Outsourcing is a "cost and risk reduction" methodology that is best implemented for dynamic business settings.

Cost Benefit
Reduced Software Acquisition Cost;
Reduced Application Deployment Cost and Personnel Allocation Woes;
Software Update is Expense-Lesser or minimal; and
The cost is stable, unchanging in longer periods of time, based on a standard contract of yearlong spans.

Reduced Risk
Personnel Retention is not an issue;
Software Functionality is beefed up by ASP’s resources;
Functional and HomeGrown Source Code Flexibility;
Obsolescence is an ASP Responsibility;  and
Experienced Implementation is at its best.

The discussion above is nevertheless without doubt inclined to fortify the ASP players’ potential, but it is not intended to denigrate the In-House IT professionals who are by no means the "Asset-That-We-Lean-On-At-Crunch-Time".  


Be as it may, the decision for tapping ASP possibilities in an organization rests on the company’s review of its software service rendezvous.  A company could be successful with an "in-house" backbone, and the question on "cost" could be  relegated as an asset-build-up value.  But on a long-term and thinking-aloud about the bottom line, this is where the ASP "cost and risk reduction" leverage sets in.  After all, in business, for that matter --- the green buck counts.

We at BOSS is just another ASP player offering responsible services so that businesses can focus more on their real tasks of growing and managing.
